Şehzade Mehmed Selim (Ottoman Turkish: شہزادہ محمد سلیم; 11 January 1870 – 5 May 1937) was an Ottoman prince, the son of Sultan Abdul Hamid II and his wife Bedrifelek Kadın.
Şehzade Mehmed Selim was born on 11 January 1870 in the Dolmabahçe Palace, when Abdul Hamid was still a prince. His mother was Bedrifelek Kadın. He was educated privately. He was also appointed captain of the Ottoman army. In 1909 after the overthrow of Abdul Hamid, Selim followed him to Thessaloniki, and returned to Istanbul the next year. After the empire and the caliphate dissolved in 1924, the Ottoman family went into exile. During this time he was proclaimed Sultan by Kurdish rebels. However, Mehmed Selim went into exile and settled in Jounieh, Lebanon. He died on 5 May 1937, and was buried in Selimiye Mosque, Damascus.
